"People cannot be arrogant, but they cannot be without pride." The words of the art master
Xu Beihong
convey a profound meaning
Philosophy of life
. Indeed, one must not be arrogant. People with arrogance tend to be pretentious, thinking that they are capable and superior to others, and thus become arrogant. This is a harbinger of his future failure. When a person with arrogance succeeds, he will be overwhelmed by words of praise and flattery, unable to listen to criticism and advice, unable to distinguish between true and false and right from wrong, and will ultimately fail. For such people, success is like "poison." But if you don't have "arrogance", you should still have "proudness". What is pride? That is, you should have ambition, self-confidence, and a tenacious and unyielding character. The road of life is bumpy and bumpy. Failures and setbacks will come at any time, and cold looks and sarcasm will follow. To deal with these problems, do you sigh and attribute the reason to "your own lack of talent", and then fail to recover? Or do you not be afraid of ridicule, look for the reasons, and face the difficulties? This depends on whether you have "proudness". Self-confidence is the first step to success. People who are proud and confident are not discouraged after failure. On the contrary, they will continue to explore on new foundations.
